Greetings Brian and welcome!
We have a few Canadians on this board, some of them, I think, hail from Montreal.
kind regards,

Ben

I find my practice moving towards Theravada, I attended a few Zendo's in Montreal but they never really clicked. Presently my practice is mostly solitary at home and getting out to a sangha is proving challenging as I have children and one with a disability that requires a lot of attention. All that being said I did a find a group that sits on Sunday afternoons, and even though they are kind of far from me (I live way out from the city) I plan on trying to make that connection and sit with a group of like-minded people.

Hello Brian,
I'm in Montreal as well and I am interested in the group you spoke of which meets on Sunday afternoons. There is so many readings and information available online but I am wanting to find some like minded people to meet with. Could you give me some contact details for the group?
Thanks,
Geoff

I live in Montreal and I'm looking for a group also. I was able to find some addresses and I'll go visit all of them (or almost). Like you, I don't live in the city (island), but a bit outside. Every practice that starts very early in the morning would be a challenge

But I've been practicing alone for quite a long time now and I notice my motivation is getting a bit... difficult

Hello,
I also leave in Montreal, on the north shore. I know 2 theravada places and i have been at the first one :http://centre-meditation-satipattha.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; : in St-Hubert (south Shore)
The other on in St-Laurent (on the island), I’ve never been there but i will contact them in the next few weeks: http://www.montrealbuddhistmonastery.org/#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;!
Hope this help!
